Harem.

Li Xingchen came to Chu Li's dormitory to seek the healing of the little princess's warm smile.

Feeling that Li Xingchen was in a bad mood, Chu Li poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Your Majesty, have you encountered any troubles?" ”

"I'm fine." Li Xingchen smiled, not wanting to substitute the unhappiness in the court into the harem.

He pulled Chu Li into his arms and kissed her.

"Your Majesty, if you encounter something unhappy, you can tell your concubine, just like before, the concubine is willing to be your big tree hole."

Seeing that Li Xingchen was unhappy, Chu Li didn't feel good in his heart.

As a queen, she wants to share her worries for the king of a country.

Li Xingchen sighed.

Chu Li is the wife he is marrying, and since she wants to hear it, he has nothing to hide, so he told the story of the flood.

"Water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, the prime minister is too old-fashioned in their thinking, they only think that the common people are not important, and ignore the fact that the king is the boat and the people are the water."

Chu Li was also very angry, and it was rare to change the dignified demeanor after a country, and said angrily: "It's really excessive." ”

"Government personnel should serve the people of the world, how can they look at money in advance and save rich families instead of poor people."

"You think so, too! I'll tell you..."

Finally, there was a person who shared the same hatred, and Li Xingchen complained about the dissatisfaction in his heart for nearly a pillar of incense.

The more Chu Li listened, the more angry he became.

"Yes, and I don't look at who really builds the country, although the power of individual people is weak, but gathering together is a spark.

You must know that the turmoil in the country will only hurt the root cause from the people at the bottom, but those princes and generals will have nothing to do with the turmoil.

Only a monarch who wins the hearts of the people can sit firmly in the world, and losing the support of the people is the beginning of changing the dynasty. ”

"Okay." Li Xingchen shouted, "What the lady said is very satisfying, but it's a pity, you are not a man, otherwise I will definitely eliminate all difficulties to let you enter the court as an official." ”

Immediately Li Xingchen sighed again, the prime minister can be said to be the person he trusts the most, but just now he helped those officials speak, which made Li Xingchen feel extremely cold.

I can't figure out whether I am making a big fuss about it, or whether the prime minister is also complicit in them.

In any case, some time ago, the secret guards were sent to the Jiangnan area to investigate the specific situation, and I believe that it will not take long to send back the news.

Wife... Chu Li's heartbeat suddenly stopped, she hadn't heard this for a long time.

I thought that after entering the palace, the previous intimacy should be stopped in moderation, and everything should be based on the rules.

And the husband called himself a lady at the moment, a title that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Chu Li was stunned for a moment.

After the two chatted, the little princess was successfully woken up by them, and she began to cry.

Li Xingchen was startled and hurriedly picked up the little princess, "Baby, what's wrong?" If you don't cry, don't cry, are you hungry? ”

Chu Li shook her head, "It should be that we just talked too loudly and disturbed her, it's okay, just coax her." ”

Under the soft comfort of her parents, the little princess's crying soon stopped, and she was filled with a sweet smile.

This smile instantly made Li Xingchen clear the clouds.

"Baby, you smile so beautifully, Baba likes to see you laugh."

Chu Li looked at the father and daughter with soft eyes, and also showed a happy smile.

"Your Majesty, is my sister okay in the near future?"

Li Xingchen smiled: "It's okay, it's just that her temperament is too active, and she is not safe when she is pregnant." I ordered someone to keep watch over her at all times, and if she had any behavior with a gun or a stick, they would come and report it to me. ”

"That's good." Chu Li nodded, "My sister used to be a general, and I can't blame her for being hyperactive."

Calculating the time, she is almost three months pregnant, so it is important to let her pay more attention to the fetal movement.

At that time, when the concubine was pregnant, the imperial doctor told the concubine that around March was the most difficult time for the child to be protected, as long as she survived, the fetus would basically no longer be abnormal, but she must let the minions take care of her, and don't let her dance with guns and sticks. ”

Seeing Chu Li's concerned look, Li Xingchen was greatly moved.

"I know that my family and everything is prosperous, and it is also my blessing that I can marry you.

During this period, due to the concubine's pregnancy, she didn't come to say goodbye, and you don't blame her. ”

The royal family has always been cruel, especially in the harem, intrigue is the norm, and the cruelty is no less than that of the court, which is also the main reason why Li Xingchen has not expanded the harem.

But now looking at Chu Li's down-to-earth and generous appearance, Li Xingchen couldn't help but think of a concubine.

As long as the harem is guarded by Chu Li, he thinks there will be no chaos.

When these messy things are dealt with, maybe it's time to take a few concubines to spread out for the royal family.

Between the electric light and the fire, Li Xingchen thought a lot.

After that, the little princess was handed over to Chu Li and returned to the imperial study to continue to deal with government affairs.

Half a month later, the secret guard sent out by Li Xingchen came back.

"Your Majesty, the humble duty has been found clearly, and no one in the south of the Yangtze River has been spared, and they are all plagued by floods.

According to the oral accounts of local people, officials in more than a dozen counties did not provide any rescue to them when the flood occurred, treating their lives as if they were a waste of mustard, and instead put all their experiences on the local wealthy families. ”

The dark guard said, and gave Li Xingchen more than a dozen recitals.

These are excerpts recorded by his subordinates, records of conversations with refugees.

Li Xingchen glanced at him and asked, "How many people have been investigated?" ”

"About three thousand." The Dark Guard replied.

The reason for the rush of time is that they only check a few hundred people in each county.

"Is everyone's rhetoric the same?" Li Xingchen's tone became cold.

If more than 3,000 people say the same thing, this matter will not be far from ten.

"It's almost the same, they all say that the officials in the Jiangnan area are inactive, so that they live a miserable life."

The Dark Guard lowered his head and said stiffly.

He felt Li Xingchen's chilling killing intent, and he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp.

To tell the truth, as a secret guard of the palace, a guard dedicated to secretly protecting the emperor, it was the first time that he was sent out to do a mission, and it was also the first time that he felt that the murderous aura emitted by the emperor would be so chilling.

"Check! Covertly continue the investigation. See if those Jiangnan officials and important ministers of the imperial court have colluded. Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Commander of the Dark Guard quietly retreated, mobilizing all the Dark Guards to investigate with all their might.

After the people left, Li Xingchen called the person in charge of the intelligence department opened by Duguling before, and asked him to assist the secret guards in the investigation.

The intelligence department has not been used for a long time, but under the development of Dugu Ling, intelligence personnel have infiltrated all corners of the Great Wei and have a long tentacle.

But after Dugu Ling became a concubine, they were left idle and had not received a task for a long time.

Li Xingchen reactivated them this time, which made everyone in the intelligence department cheer!
